💅 libnvmf_set_keyring — bestie, let's talk keyrings

okay so real talk, this one lives in the libnvme API manual and it's called libnvmf_set_keyring(9) — yes the (9) is giving "kernel/API section" energy, we love a numbered section, periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

libnvmf_set_keyring — link a keyring so it can actually be looked up later 🔑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int libnvmf_set_keyring (struct libnvme_global_ctx *ctx , long
keyring_id );

literally just one function call, no cap. returns an int, takes two things. that's the whole vibe check. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ctx — a struct libnvme_global_ctx object. your global context bestie, the main character of the whole libnvme situation 👑
  • keyring_id — the keyring id. a long. that's the keyring you're linking in, iykyk 💜

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does it do?? it links keyring_id into the session keyring — yes, the session keyring, that's the specific one — such that its keys are available for further key lookups. 🔍✨

that's it. that's the whole function. it's giving "small but mighty", it's giving "quietly doing the most important job in the room". ngl I'm obsessed with how unbothered this manpage is. 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success — slay 💖
  • a negative error code otherwise — so if you see a negative number, that's not it chief 😭
🚨 quick reminder bestie: 0 = good, negative = bad. do NOT go treating a negative error code like it's fine, fr fr.

and that's the whole page!! mwah 💋
